(Area) Warmer temperatures have created unsafe ice fishing conditions.
John Lorenzen, Fisheries Biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said typically ice goes out around the shore first, but there still may be safe ice beyond that. However, he recommends not going in any water to get out on ice. Lorezen talks about what to look out for…
Lorenzen said different lakes and ponds go out at different rates since they have different water shed sizes, so be careful. He said if you are on one water body that has safe ice that doesn’t mean the next lake you go out on is going to be safe.
